I'm using amarok to follow a lot of podcasts (including a few from ABC)
and it works really well. Akregator is really not doing well for
podcasts (though I like it for all other rss feeds).

Amarok can either stream on demand, or download the new episodes when
available. On my side they end up being saved in
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/podcasts/ (one folder per subscription), this
is probably configurable (no idea where).

Obviously, this only applies to properly formatted podcasting rss feeds..
